wii for Christmas

[Rusted]

So what is the scoop on the Wii's this Christmas. I wanted to get one for my little boy, and so far they are sold out everywhere. The ones avalible online are over priced. Are they just gone because of the black friday sales? Will they be in the stores again before Christmas?

Also how are they packaged? Is the $330 version just the base, a remote, and a game? Do they bundle it with more stuff or controllers? Or how are they often seen in the stores?

I am not sure about the packaging but most places sell them for 249.00

They have been sold out for awhile but the stores get them in periodically. The problem is they only get like 10 at a time wal-mart gets there shipments in around 11:00 each day

and the smaller places like the game stop get them often

My sisters both got them at the game stop but you have to be right on top of it and they wont hold them for you

Costco had a nice setup, with 2 controllers and a game.
But they are currently out of stock online, I have a few friends that work there that told me when they got them in, The day of, They say they really dont know what they get till they open the truck?!?
Its true that many of the bundles are WAY over priced....So goes a capitalist nation.

I think your gonna be hard pressed to find one. They have been selling super quick everywhere. A couple guys at work have been trying very hard. Calling probabaly 15 places a day for over a month with no luck. Gotta get lucky.

Last I checked they are still lame.

 

[Rusted]

15 places a day for a month? I hope they are not that rare

You sayin his little boy is lame?!?

Now THAT is lame...

 

[Rusted]

Last I checked they are still lame.

Age 30 = I agree
Age 6 = My kid is stoked about them

Are you a Costco shopper?
If so, I can ask my friends to let me know when a load comes in and I can PM you, They work at the 300 W. and Ogden location

 

[Cody]

if they are anything like last year, you just have to pop in at the right time. I can tell you the truck schedule for all the circuit city's if you like

If you are talking about the 300 W and ~2000 S store in SLC let me know. I can get there quick if need be

Yes thats the one, I could see about the new WVC location as well

 

[Rusted]

see what you can do about the 300 W store. I can't get to WVC as easily. Thanks

 

[Brian P]

Made the call, We shall see.

 

[Rusted]

Thanks.

 

[Brett]

If not, why not hit eBay?

Rusted,

You just have to call Wal Mart. They get them in regularly. Or you can check the ones in small towns. They don't sell as fast. If they have it in Price I'm sure Shanes parents could help out.

They include 1 game, 1 Wii remote, and 1 Nunchuck.

When I bought mine in July they had a sale on the Wii remotes and nunchucks at Wal Mart.

 

[Rusted]

The walmart managers were good enough to tell me that they get 3-4 every few days, but they never know when they will come. I guess they open the box, see it has a wii, and it goes to whatever customer happens to be standing close by. When I was at Walmart today there were 3 of us asking for them at the same time, and one more on the phone. This stuff is amazing to me.

I will call a few small towns, I am ok with a road trip Good idea

 

[Brian P]

I was told the Costco bundles have 2 games,2 wii-motes and 1 nunchuck
Unsure of the games yet.
Good luck if you find one sooner or later
